1. The Main Star of the Show, Park Yoo-hu

The child who has given everyone the baby fever, Yoo-hu, is a delight on screen. Despite being just a toddler, he has stolen the show. While the chubby red cheeks are among the main reasons, you cannot deny that his expressions have everyone in awe. He delivers each dialogue and expression on point, so that it actually amazes you how well he performs.

In fact, many viewers claimed that he is generated by AI because of how perfect he is. Though, rest assured, TVN has not only sent him on reality shows to prove he is real but also posted behind the scenes of the scenes to assure the viewers that he is real and adorable.

2. Bae In-hyuk and Roh Jeong-eui Are Also a Delight on Screen

While the baby has a fair share of the drama's hype, Bae In-hyuk and Roh Jeong-eui have also made the show a delight to watch. The two have previously played roles that have gained them separate fandoms.

Bae In-hyuk is known for his roles in At Distance The Spring Looks Green, Goblin Kiss, and The Park's Marriage Contract. While Roh Jeong-eui has impressed fans in Hierarchy, The Witch, and Crushology 101, these fans love seeing their favorites on screen.

However, the two really did live up to their characters- embodying them perfectly, whether it be their vulnerability, struggles, joy, or even clumsiness. Furthermore, their chemistry is on point. They start by disliking each other, but when fate compels them to work together and live together, feelings begin to change. The tension between them is pure, not super intimate, but raw as they gradually develop feelings. Yet still, the progress is not so slow that you lose interest.

Truly, the viewers are screaming into their pillows because their cuteness is too much to handle.

3. A Unique Blend Of Genres That Just Feels Right

Our Universe handles many genres at a time yet balances them perfectly. On one hand, it is a classic rom-com, with comedy that appears constantly throughout the drama, with hilarious yet relatable scenarios and romance that develops within the chaos. The show handles enemies to lover's trope, where yet again the leads would rather be with anyone else, but the situation forces them to work together; however, there is a twist. This is no ordinary enemies-to-lovers trope.

There is family drama involved. At the same time, it is a heartfelt healing drama that also shows the struggles of Seon Tae-young (Bae In-hyuk) and Woo Hyeon-jin (Roh Jeong-eui) as young adults struggling to make a career, handle emotions and dreams, all in all, while raising a toddler.

Our Universe tackles many subjects in one drama, yet it is not messy- everything sits perfectly, making it a perfect watch.
